Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on April 3 struck an aggressive yet emotional tone as he took aim at the BJP government, accusing it of taking credit for past projects and failing to deliver on present-day challenges. Speaking in Lucknow after a meeting with party youth leaders, Yadav cautioned the BJP against claiming achievements like the Gomti Riverfront, which he said were initiated under the Samajwadi Party government, much like the Lucknow Metro.
“If they can mislead the people here, one can only imagine what they might be saying elsewhere,” he remarked. But beyond the allegations and counter-allegations, Yadav focused strongly on the role of youth in politics. He said that whenever young people come together with determination, they have the power to reshape the future. Banking on this energy, he expressed confidence in the PDA (Backward (socially and economically backward classes) coalition, calling it a force that can influence every booth in upcoming elections.
Yadav didn’t hold back while describing the current situation in Uttar Pradesh. He termed it a “time of crisis,” pointing to rising unemployment, inflation, and what he called a lack of real investment on the ground. According to him, educated youngsters are still searching for jobs, while promises remain largely on paper. He also raised concerns about law and order, saying incidents of violence and crime are becoming increasingly common. On essential services like education and healthcare, Yadav painted a worrying picture, schools struggling, systems weakening, and ordinary people bearing the brunt.
At the same time, he tried to strike a contrast in ideology. He said the Samajwadi Party stands firmly with the Constitution and democratic values, while accusing the BJP of weakening institutions and discouraging dissent. Ending on a political note, Yadav urged party workers to stay positive and connect with people at the grassroots. He emphasized that change will come through unity and persistence, expressing confidence that the people of Uttar Pradesh will bring his party back to power in the 2027 Assembly elections.
